English words like husband, sky, and window also hark back to Viking times. Vikings have always had a pretty notorious reputation, but new research suggests that they may have left behind another troubling legacy. R1b is also prominent in Ireland, the Scottish Highlands, western Wales, the Atlantic coast of France, the Basque country and Catalonia.

This can be done through testing for Y-DNA STR markers. But also R1a, R1b, G2, N, and a few others may well point to your Viking roots.SNP that defines I1 haplogroup is M253.It is critical to understand that not all Vikings were I1 and not all I1 were Vikings. I1 was a modification of I that emerged about 27,000 years ago. In genetic genealogy two types of mutations are relevant: STR and SNP (pronounced snip).STRs (short tandem repeats) occur rather often (in terms of generations). Vikings were people who a) took part in raids directed from Scandinavia and Scandinavian colonies; b) spoke Old Norse; c) shared Norse values and culture; d) all this between AD 793—1066.Ethnically, Vikings were not only ancestors of people whom we now call Danes, Norwegians, and Swedes. How come it is now believed to predict your Nordic ancestry?Modern Scandinavians essentially belong to I1, R1a and R1b. For the comparison chart, see If you order tests from FTDNA, be sure to join their To learn your exact location on the haplogroup tree, you should test for SNPs, which is Feel free to ask questions and share your own experience about DNA testing for Viking ancestry in the Comments section below.I had my DNA done 2016 and redone with another website 2019. more or less the same.

I1 is so peculiar because it is thought to be concentrated for a very long time almost exclusively in Scandinavia. In that year, the Saxon King Harold Godwinson defeated the Norwegian King Harald III at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Archaeologists excavating Viking latrines have found that genes adapted to fight internal parasites could be harmful for their modern day descendants. And how to tell both groups from I1 who peacefully lived in Finland for the last 5,000 years or so?
